St Clare’s, Oxford, founded in 1953, operates as a co-educational day and boarding college in North Oxford. It is the longest-established International Baccalaureate (IB) World School in England. The curriculum focuses on the IB Diploma Programme for students aged 16 to 19, alongside a Pre-IB pathway and Middle School options for younger students. The campus consists of 25 Victorian and Edwardian buildings integrated into the residential Summertown area, featuring specialized science laboratories, an art studio, and a dedicated library with over 35,000 volumes. Students benefit from the "Oxford as a Classroom" initiative, which utilizes the city’s university museums and academic resources for field trips and research. Residential life is organized across several houses, where boarders from over 45 nations live in a supervised environment. The college is known for its history as a center for international cooperation and its focus on preparing students for university entry through a non-denominational, multicultural lens.
